Jillian grabbed his sword in both hands and narrowed his eyes sharply at the disgusting creatures in front of him. "Ernoul, if you had just stayed in Hell and received your punishment, you might have been able to reincarnate into a better life. I will give you one more chance, if you go back right now, everything can still be salvaged. Don’t make yourself regret it."
"Me, regret?!" Ernoul threw his head back and guffawed. His four eyes turned crescent, the pupils within swirled round and round in different directions. Yikes, Jillian thought. "I have been regretting it since the day you cut off my General’s head!"
"How dare you!" Jillian growled, furious. "You are the one who sacrificed your General so that you can escape safely. Do you think such an exceptional fighter will succumb in the battlefield that easily if not for you?!"
Even though they were enemies, Jillian had truly admired the Barbarians’ deceased General. Back then, he had pleaded to Jillian not to give chase in exchange for his own head. To think that the master of such a loyal, righteous man was this greedy demon was enough to make Jillian’s skin crawl.
"He died because he was weak!" Ernoul exclaimed without even an ounce of guilt. "It’s the survival of the fittest. Only the strongest will remain and today, I will take your head with me!"
Jillian squared his shoulders and took on a fighting stance. "You’re unredeemable," he seethed, fire burning in his veins. His sword thrummed along as if responding to his fury. "I, Jillian Lacrosa, will send you back to Hell. Mark my words, Ernoul."
"W—Wait..." Maia scrambled to tug on his cloak, almost pulling Jillian off-balance. "He... He’s still my father. Please..." She pleaded with tears in her eyes.
